I thought I recognized your counterstamp so did a little digging. It's the logo for Mack Trucks. All trucks had a bulldog emblem as a hood...
You have a nice group of counterstamped coins, jgenn. This one I like particularly. Very artistic designed stamp applied nicely. Very impressive!...
That's an interesting one, fretboard. Looks like a company logo to me. Do you know anything about it? Bruce
A beautiful coin, jgenn, and neatly counterstamped. I wonder what the occasion was for the stamp. Birthday, marriage ? It's too bad the name is so...
This coin I've had for a long time and was always one of my favorites. These stamps that include an address are a bit unusual, so it has extra...

That's a nice one, longnine. High quality engraving for sure. Bruce
I have a small number of Masonic pieces and some other fraternal issues, but this one is unusual. Not sure how it was made, but it has an...

You said it all for me, Otis. I don't collect coins anymore, though up until about 10 or 15 years ago that was all I had an interest in. Since I'm...
